'Stranger Things' style giant cloud left morning commuters terrified in Richmond, Virginia after it appeared to 'roll' across the orange-pink skyline.

If you have seen the popular Netflix series Stranger Things, you might be quite aware of the storm clouds created by the 'shadow monster' in the show hinting at the dangers that's about to come.

Well, a very similar 'Stranger Things' style giant cloud left morning commuters terrified in Richmond, Virginia after it appeared to 'roll' across the orange-pink skyline. It baffled the workers during the morning rush hour.

Amanda Creger‏, who was reportedly on her way to work, tweeted: "Strange things afoot in #RVA today." She added: "Or should I say, #StrangerThings."

A spokesperson for the Met Office told The Independent: "Arcus clouds or roll clouds are a dense horizontal roll and form part of clouds on a front. When they are extensive they can appear dark and menacing. They are often associated with storm clouds and thunderstorms."

It's an extremely rare phenomenon and it's not easy to spot one. But roll clouds have been reported from Queensland, Australia in the past.
